Filed under: Buying, Chocolate, Coffee, Cook, Cream, Desserts, Eating, Fruit, Indian Recipes, Juice, Milk, Nonvegetarian, Pickle, Tea, Vegetarian — fooddrinkrecepies @ 9:01 am

In the field of food safety and proper food handling, there are four principles by which the food industry regulates how it relates to all food hygiene applications. Together, these principles work to cover all critical areas where contamination of food occurs. Observing these principles greatly minimized the health risks involved in directing the food and the consequent contamination of the food.

The four golden rules of food hygiene are:Good Food

Buy food from a safe source.
Prevent bacteria from entering food.
Prevent the proliferation (growth or development) of bacteria in their food.
Destroy bacteria in the food, utensils and work surfaces

Make sure you buy food only from suppliers that are well known and reputable. It is important to note that all foods are within their expiration date and appropriate conditions are maintained in the store. The meters of the portion should be kept spotlessly clean, the machines also including mincing machines, knives and slicers.Freezers, coolers and refrigerators should display their temperatures and must be fixed in less than 5 degrees centigrade for products and cooled to -18 degrees centigrade or less for frozen products.

People Enjoy Drinking Wine

Filed under: Buying, Coffee, Cook, Cream, Desserts, Drinking, Eating, Fruit, Juice, Milk, Nonvegetarian, Pickle, Recipes, Vegan, Vegetarian, Wine — fooddrinkrecepies @ 6:00 pm

People enjoy drinking wine because it’s relaxing, a great meal partner, and has healthy effects on the body. Before deciding what type or brand of wine to buy, there are some things that you need to know. Always make sure that you are buying the best bottle. Here are some things that you should check before purchasing a bottle of wine.

Quality Most wines on the market right now are made for mass consumption, therefore making it more “acceptable” to general taste. When you are out searching for a bottle, be sure to consider its brand or type. In this country, a sparkling wine is usually called “Champagne”. We all know that Champagne is a place in France where great sparkling wines are made. Good sparkling wines don’t carry the name Champagne on their labels. So be sure to look for descriptions of this kind before purchasing.

Taste Most starters like sweet wine. However, as you get familiar with the taste, be sure to try different kinds. The first thing that you should consider is the wine’s color. Red and white wines have different tastes, and a rose wine has a whole different kind of taste. Aside from this, various wines can be partnered with different meals too. Wines have many different tastes and it’s best to try them to find your favorite.

Terroir Although this has been a debate over the years, most wine drinkers believe that the wine’s terroir has a great effect on its quality. Terroir is defined as the soil and the environment where the grapes are harvested. People believe that the wine’s from well known terroirs are better than most wines produced in other places. So if you want to be more sophisticated in choosing your wine bottle, make sure they come from a well known terroir.

Personalize Visit your local wine shop and ask the owner about wine types that you may like. As you try different types, make a list of the wines that you find interesting. In this way, you will have your own ‘criteria’ and before you know it, you’ll be an expert when it comes to your own tastes buds.

Salad Lore

Filed under: Buying, Coffee, Cream, Desserts, Drinking, Eating, Fruit, Indian Recipes, Juice, Nonvegetarian, Recipes, Tea, Vegan, Vegetarian, Wine — fooddrinkrecepies @ 10:33 am

From the Oriental countries has descended our taste for salads. “A lodge in a garden of cucumbers” in the sultry eastern lands was a haven of rest indeed. In those days, cucumbers and melons were among the greatest luxuries.

The Greeks were noted for their fondness of lettuce, which they served at the end of a repast. The Romans, always the imitators of the Greeks, followed their example in this respect, but later they used lettuce with egg as a first course, in order to stimulate the appetite. In default of lettuce, they ate endive. Ancient physicians recognized the narcotic value of lettuce, and the Greek physician, Galen, termed it the “philosopher’s, or wise man’s herb.” The herb doctors prescribed the spring salad for the sick, while the superstitious extolled it as a preventive of disease and decay.Queen Catherine of England, a great lover of the salad, could not procure it in London, and her royal husband, Henry, had to send to the Netherlands for a gardener to come and cultivate the necessary plants.

Many Americans have the erroneous idea that foreign nations excel in salad making. France for a long time lead in this delicate art; we are told that the artist preeminent in salad-making was the Frenchman, Chevelier Gaudet, who fled to England at the outbreak of the French Revolution, and without friends or fortune, realized a handsome property from his knowledge of salad-making alone. He considered the mixing of a salad as so serious and dignified a profession that he never approached the salad bowl except in full gala costume, with his sword by his side. His services were in great demand by the nobility, in order that their guests might be regaled with one of his creations.

The salad stands alone in this particular: It may be served on all occasions, and to any class of people. It is one of the most delightful and healthful of Heaven’s gifts to man. A modern authority tells us “salads refresh without weakening, and make people younger.” While this statement may be accepted with the proverbial grain of salt, it is nevertheless true that salad plants are better tonics and blood purifiers than druggists’ compounds.

Create a Low Calorie Summer Barbecue

Filed under: Chocolate, Coffee, Cook, Cream, Drinking, Eating, Fruit, Indian Recipes, Juice, Milk, Nonvegetarian, Recipes, Tea, Vegan, Vegetarian — fooddrinkrecepies @ 7:22 am

Many of us enjoy summer barbeques. For some, this event is a yearly summer tradition where the entire family gets together. However, an important thing to remember during these particular events is that majority of the foods we consume are laden with calories and unwanted fats. So what can you do in order to make the next backyard barbecue a low calorie fest?

Let’s start with appetizers. At a regular calorific barbecue, some of the items we may see on the picnic table include salty chips, creamy dips, and fried finger foods. Although all of these snacks are delicious, they can sure help you pack on the pounds. So instead of these greasy entrees try to cut up some fresh veggies or create your own garden fresh salsa or low calorie dips. Simply make your dip with low calorie ingredients and opt for baked chips instead of their greasy counterparts. As for the grill part of the meal, most popular items include hamburgers, fatty sausages, and steaks. All of these choices go completely against a slim waist. So what can you place on the grill so that you don’t feel guilty about abandoning your diet? Some great alternatives include skinless chicken breast, fresh fish, pork tenderloin and fresh veggies. Your meal will still be delicious but your calorie intake will be cut in half.

Dessert is one of the most exciting parts of a barbecue, especially for the kids. However, your kids have a higher chance of burning off those calories during a barbecue. Some great alternatives for those of us with a slower metabolism include watermelon wedges, chilled fruit medley or a low calorie gelatin snack. Who knows, maybe even the kids will love a cool watermelon wedge on a hot summer day. These are just a few ideas towards a low calorie barbecue.

Seafood Soup

Filed under: Cook, Drinking, Fruit, Indian Recipes, Juice, Nonvegetarian, Recipes, Vegan, Vegetarian, Wine — fooddrinkrecepies @ 4:47 pm

As a busy mom of 4, I often have the challenge of finding recipes that are tasty enough for kids, yet not the traditional chicken-nuggets-or-hot-dogs kind of menu my kids would eat everyday if they were allowed to do so. Add the convenience of using the crockpot, which is such an amazing time saver, and you’ve got the makings of a great recipe.

This simple seafood soup feeds 8-10 people, and has the Kenny children seal of approval. It is also fairly inexpensive, with ingredients that you can find in any grocery store. We usually serve it with homemade bread & a big salad.

Ingredients: 3 cans of cheddar cheese soup, 3 cans of cream of potato soup, 6 cans of milk, 1 8oz. package of imitation crab meat, 1 can of chopped or minced clams, 1 can of shrimp, choice of spices to taste.

First, empty all cans of soup (both kinds) into the crockpot. Add 6 cans of milk, using the soup cans. Mix together with a whisk. Add clams & shrimp, including liquid in the cans. Mix with whisk. Cut up the crab meat into bite-sized pieces. Mix with whisk again. Add your choices of spices to taste and whisk one final time. Cook in crockpot on high for 4 to 6 hours. Stir before serving.

This recipe serves approximately 10 bowls of soup, and freezes very well. For added flair, you may also use canned crab or lump crab. This soup can be very versatile. If you do not enjoy potatoes in your soup, I recommend you use 6 cans of cheddar cheese soup, leaving out the cream of potato soup completely. Hope you enjoy the soup!
